- I have a working tcl/tk application...but when used on
- a system (a sparc2) whose color palette is consumed by
- other applications I get the following message
- and my application exits.
-
- couldn't allocate color
- (database entry for "background" in widget ".menu")
- invoked from within
- "frame .menu -relief raised -borderwidth 1"
-
- Other non tcl/tk applications that depend on color dont behave
- this way. Is there a way out of this or is it a current
- limitation?
